1 BTC (edit: now ~3.25 BTC) bounty for Bitsquare on raspberry pi

TheKoziTwo · June 10, 2016, 10:44pm

Hi,

I am TheKoziTwo on bitcointalk. Early adopter of bitcoin, owner of the first Monero exchange.

I am a big fan of the bitsquare project and want to support it by providing market liquidity. I would like to do so by keeping my raspberry online 24/7 and run bitsquare on it. I tried to install it myself, but it did not launch properly (black screen) when I tried and don’t have time to mess around with it right now, also I want a script doing it all automatically, so therefore I offer a bounty.

The rasbian jessie image can be downloaded from: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

The first person who can post a fully working bash script that compiles and installs bitsquare (and all its dependencies) on Raspbian Jessie will be rewarded 0.75 BTC. Additional 0.25 BTC will be rewarded if the script can be run to update to a new release automatically.

E.g all needed to install bitsquare on raspbian should be a command such as:
./bitsquare.sh

and to upgrade to latest version
./bitsquare.sh --update

Building From Source
====================

This guide will walk you through the process of building bisq from source.

> _**NOTE:** For most users, building from source is not necessary. See the [releases page](https://github.com/bisq-network/exchange/releases), where you'll find installers for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X._

There is an install script (2 parts) for setup (JDK, git, maven, Bitcoinj, bisq) on Linux in that directory (install_on_unix.sh, install_on_unix_fin.sh).

System requirements
-------------

The prerequisite for building bisq is installing the Java Development Kit (JDK), version 8u131 or better (as well as maven and git).

    $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk maven git

In Debian/Ubuntu with OpenJDK you'll need OpenJFX as well, i.e. you'll need the `openjfx` package besides the `openjdk-8-jdk` package.

    $ sudo apt-get install openjfx

If the person who post the script does not want the bounty I will donate the funds to bitsquare development.

I can pay the bounty in Monero for those who prefer that.

Thanks

Wow. Gives some hope for humanity!
I match your bounty.
Please communicate via this forum when you are satisfied with the script(s) and then we can communicate so I know to which address the bounty should be sent. I do not use Monero. I would need some type of confirmation that it works but I don’t expect this to be much of a problem.

TheKoziTwo · June 11, 2016, 10:11am

Thanks for matching the bounty! I’ll request the script and payment address to be posted in this topic.

I just noticed there’s also an additional bounty of 0.25 BTC offered by reddit user avgeca here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/4nj0v4/1btc_or_xmr_equivalent_bounty_for_raspberry/d44o0zp

I have tested it on my very old raspberry pi, but RAM is not enough.
Please test is on a modern one

TheKoziTwo · June 11, 2016, 11:23am

Unfortunately the script did not work fully for me. Getting errors: http://pastebin.com/raw/BqrenYZg

I’m using Raspberry Pi 2 Model B with Rasbian Jessie 4.4

ManfredKarrer · June 11, 2016, 11:47am

I add 500 Monero to the bounty. Same procedure regarding acceptance as @mepistol described.

ManfredKarrer · June 11, 2016, 12:55pm

I just added a general bounty rule set and overview:
https://forum.bitsquare.io/t/bitsquare-bounties-rule-set-and-overview/
Feel free to follow that (or ignore :-)).

I have set up a Github issue with a link to this thread.

TheKoziTwo · June 11, 2016, 1:26pm

Frederic, looking at the code, it seems you have not included the prerequisites in the script? Please include those. I will test it after.

avgeca · June 11, 2016, 1:51pm

just wanted to confirm my 0.25btc (or monero equivalent) bounty contribution on here. let me know where to send it if you find a script satisfying. I think with the bounty right now, we can expect people to give us something nice

The issue with the https://github.com/metabit/bitsquare-on-raspberry-pi script is that the latest version of java from Oracle does not contain the javafx library.

Here is the updated script with a community compiled openjfx overlaid - a possible security risk but compiling openjfx is a pain in the arse https://github.com/pteron/bitsquare-on-raspberry-pi

It compiles on a rasp pi 2 but I get an error on startup - my pi is running headless, not sure if this has anything to do with it. Will investigate further - the issue is a failure to update the java alternative.

run using /opt/jdk1.8.0_92/bin/java -jar ~/bitsquare/gui/target/shaded.jar

amustafa · June 11, 2016, 2:20pm

The previous examples won’t work. Arm distributions of JDK8 no longer include JavaFX which is needed to compile the packages. That’s why none of the out-of-the-box solutions are working.

This includes all the steps. I got it working on a Raspberry Pi 2. The script itself may need a little tweaking to pass in a single run, but I just wanted to put this up before another person got ahead of me.

pteron · June 11, 2016, 2:28pm

by about 30 seconds I think

amustafa · June 11, 2016, 2:49pm

I think you left the btc address from metabit on your script. jsyk

pteron · June 11, 2016, 2:51pm

Yeah, he did most of the work… I just enjoyed the challenge of debugging it

pteron · June 11, 2016, 3:04pm

I’ve boosted the priority for java 8 in the script now so no need to run the java 8 executable direct.

amustafa · June 11, 2016, 3:11pm

Final nail in the coffin pushed!

The reason you’re getting the error is because the RPi was not devoting enough memory to the GPU.

Go to raspi-config and share the memory 50/50 and it runs

EDIT: Might have spoken too soon. It’s starting up and everything seems to be running. But it’s not connecting properly. Sorry for the false hopes. The GPU memory was just one more step.

pteron · June 11, 2016, 3:14pm

Gotta love a bit of collaboration!

Frederic94500 · June 11, 2016, 3:22pm

So good collaboration, and me, i make nothing xD

Seepy · June 11, 2016, 3:35pm

Why can’t just download and run the .deb file?

Frederic94500 · June 11, 2016, 3:36pm

He wants to test new fonction in her Raspberry Pi
